They mentioned it in April. A book, a restaurant, the earrings they stopped to look at. You said it out loud to your phone, and Hudson kept it. Thirty days before their birthday, it hands it back. The gift lands. Hudson is a private memory app for the details you keep meaning to write down. Their ring size. The flowers they actually like. The restaurant from your third date. Anniversaries. All of it, in one place, none of it in your head. Not a coach. Not an advice bot. Just the right detail at the right time. Made for iPhone Duo (new) Open it up and their photo is right there beside Hudson, in a frame as tasteful or as campy as you like. Hudson's buttons move to the side, right where iPhone Duo puts them. Talk to Hudson On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, just say it out loud. "Their ring size is 6. They loved the tulips." Hudson sorts the details into the right place. On iOS 27 it handles longer stories, mixed details, and the occasional "wait, actually." Little Things Morning walks. Window seats. The book on their nightstand. Tag what they love, like, and avoid. Searchable when you need it. What Hudson tracks - Important dates with reminders that actually nudge you - Sizes: shirt, pants, ring, shoe. Enter once. - Wishlist for gift ideas you spot in the wild - Date history: what you did, what worked - Favorites: coffee order, wine, flowers - Wins worth celebrating - Notes, stories, the stuff they mentioned once Private by default Your relationship isn't training data. Hudson keeps everything on your device and in your private iCloud. Voice runs on Apple Intelligence, on your iPhone or on Apple's Private Cloud Compute, which never stores or shares what you say. Nothing leaves that path unless you choose to: you can connect your own AI provider in Settings, or opt in to share note text (never audio) to help improve Hudson. Standing in a store wondering if it was silver or gold? Open Hudson. Done. Side effects may include being called "impressively prepared" and friends asking for your secret. Hudson cannot teach you to fold a fitted sheet. Results may vary.
